Just read Barbara’s podcast about challenging behavior and it was as if she was at our school this semester! We have 3 kids with prominent, challenging behaviors, 2 who have been assessed. Your answers in the interview/ podcast were most helpful and are leaving me wanting more & in depth info about the “2nd step” procedure/ program( I will look it up).
I am wondering if you will be speaking/ presenting in the new year-2017 in the Austin or surrounding areas? If so, where & when?
Thank you for sharing your experiences, support of EC teachers, your wisdom & your hope for the future!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment! Barbara will be in touch with you soon.
